Description

Enjoying a magnificent westerly aspect with far-reaching views over the picturesque Limpley Stoke Valley, this striking home combines contemporary design with thoughtful layout and high-quality finishes throughout.

Set across three floors, the property welcomes you on the ground level with a spacious entrance hallway that enjoys both front and side aspects. From here, a well-appointed utility room provides an extensive range of storage solutions, a sink, and a water softener. A guest cloakroom is finished with a tiled floor, WC, and hand basin.

The sitting room is a standout feature, with superb dual westerly aspects and bi-folding doors that open directly onto a sun deck, framing uninterrupted views across the rear garden and valley. A cleverly concealed study area with fitted storage is tucked discreetly behind sliding doors.

Bedroom one sits on this floor with a front garden aspect and its own ensuite shower room.

The principal bedroom suite is truly luxurious, enjoying a westerly aspect with bi-folding doors onto the sun deck, a walk-in dressing room, and a stunning ensuite bathroom complete with a copper bathtub, WC, hand basin, walk-in shower with both overhead and hand shower fittings, generous storage, and underfloor heating.

A staircase leads down to three further double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and charming views over the rear garden. One of these bedrooms includes an ensuite with a shower, WC, and hand basin, while the remaining rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, WC, basin, and heated towel rail.

Rising to the upper floor, the house opens into an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, flooded with natural light from two sets of bi-folding doors that lead out to a terrace and frame the spectacular elevated views over the gardens and valley. The bespoke kitchen features a large walnut island with copper overlaid worktops, a Neff induction hob and gas burner, twin electric built-in ovens - one with microwave functionality, and a warming drawer. A walk-in larder provides extensive storage, and there is space and plumbing for an American-style fridge/freezer. The sitting area enjoys the warmth of a Gazco gas fire and shares the stunning rear aspect views, with the adjoining dining space completing this impressive family living zone.

Positioned in the garden is a separate home office or summer house with bi-folding doors onto a terrace, rear aspect views, and its own WC and hand basin, making it ideal for remote working or guest accommodation.
